Robert Downey Jr.’s Creepy Mr. Peanut Commercial

Yesterday we reported that Robert Downey Jr. would be voicing the monocled legume Mr. Peanut in a new commercial for Planters. Today we have that very commercial. It appears it’s taking its stylistic cues from Wes Anderson‘s The Fantastic Mr. Fox, with Downey filling in for Clooney. I’m also not certain why a peanut would remain friends with a nutcracker, especially if said nutcracker tried to murder him at his last get together, but I guess some are more forgiving than others. The person who cracked my skull open many moons ago I no longer consider an acquaintance. (ThePlaylist)
